Care to take a guess what the average results have been? 50/100
And one of the main questions that has been coming up is about improving website performance. So, we thought we’d write an article to give you a lot of important information about this issue.
To be clear, I do think churches can be very authentic to their culture and beliefs while exploring ways to be connected. However, before crafting a unique strategy, it’s good to learn what’s working now.
One of the better known athletes, Usain Bolt, the world’s fastest man and indisputably one of the great athletes of all time, won the Olympic 100-meter dash for an unprecedented third straight time on Sunday night
Frankly, my local church website was hacked 3 times after having that same website sit for years without attention. The result? Members weren’t able to pay tithes online for a limited time. Others saw images they weren’t supposed to see on a church website, and many others were redirected to make purchases of viagra.
We think that digitalization is critical for all ministries. We want to do our part to help churches ‘think digital’.
Honestly, my wife and I (mostly my wife) not only volunteer to help out at VBS each year, but we pretty much go ‘VBS shopping’ as well.
Chances are that a percentage of your bulletin readers are active on and subscribed to your Facebook page. Perhaps, a call or text blast is enough. Many of our crossmrkt.com clients are using text this way. Others, like RPC Adventist Church is using our pocketpew.com mobile app to add the pdfs there. Sligo SDA Church uses Issuu (https://issuu.com/sligochurch) to load up their bulletins. My church pastor sends out an email, and we, at times, post it on Facebook. Faithvox.com is working on this issue by first understanding what does an event mean and what can be included on your website
There’s no such thing as a perfect website, and so many pastors want to wait to get their site up because they want to include everything that’s happening at the church. While you want to be sure you have a great site, simplicity is good too, as long as you’re showing your visitors how unique your church is.
The Amazing Facts website shows that they understand evangelization is a process. Many churches approach evangelization through events, but they don’t do so well when preparing for evangelistic events and , more importantly, following up.
In 2013, after partnering with St. Paul Community Baptist Church (SPCBC) to build our first PocketPew app, we received a call from Marcus o/b United Baptist Church (UBC), who was “card out of wallet” interested to get setup with a mobile app. He saw what we did for SPCBC and was really excited to add this tech tool to UBC.
